Lin Hai, who was standing nearby, was dissatisfied when he heard this:
"Ah, you idiot Lin Bei, why can't I stay here? I'm running the Northeast branch very successfully, okay? Without me, where would our Lingnan Hall get its ginseng? I'm taking credit for it, okay?"
Lin Sanqi was speechless, thinking to himself, is this guy really into the role?
Lin Chengye was getting impatient on the other side. He threw off his towel and jumped into the swimming pool.
"Since we're here, why bother talking about work? There are so many beautiful African girls waiting for us. If you don't like black girls, there are also white girls and yellow girls here, especially the beauties from Eastern Europe. They have devilish bodies and angelic faces."
Lin Sanqi also threw off the towel and jumped into the swimming pool:
"Then let's have fun. We're in the middle of nowhere anyway, so it's absolutely safe. Don't save me money, let's have fun however we want. Yoho~~~"
When others heard this, they also joined the revelry.
The next day, until noon, several talented people from the Lin family came in one after another, all with dark circles under their eyes, and no one knew what they had been doing all night.
Yes, it must be mahjong until dawn.
Lin Sanqi and his companions got into several cars, with armed security guards with guns leading the way in front and behind, and drove north at a faster speed.
The city of Antsiranana is called the "capital of the Diana region", but it is actually a small town with a population of only 100,000. It was a French colony decades ago.
The city is very small. Except for a few blocks with special French colonial features, the rest are all dirt roads, extending all the way to the port of Antsiranana.
The port of Antsiranana is located on a protruding peninsula. There are two small islands outside the port, which guard it like two gatekeepers, preventing it from being invaded by the wind and making it a natural haven.
There is an iron gate blocking the connection between the port area and the outside world, and there is only one road for entry and exit.
Lin Sanqi thought that this place was good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the iron gate was controlled, it would be difficult for ordinary people to enter or exit. The confidentiality was very good, and he didn't know how Lin Chengye and Lin Tianhua found it.
When we entered the port area, several black officials were already waiting there. These black people could speak English, so the two sides were able to communicate.
Lin Sanqi stood on the beach of the port and saw that the entire port area was deserted. It was indeed overgrown with weeds, and only a gantry crane stood there alone.
Apparently this port hasn't had any business for a long time. There are some fishermen's docks not far away that are quite popular, so it seems there's no shortage of seafood.
Lin Tianhua has visited the port many times, so he is quite familiar with Antsiranana Port:
"At present, the port has only one berth for ships, but the port has a deep draft and can accommodate ships of up to 100,000 tons. This alone is sufficient for our use.
Moreover, I have bribed all the black customs officials in these ports. I will give them a sum of money every month. They can do whatever they want, but just don't have to come to work. Our people can exercise customs power on their behalf.
Although this will cost us an extra fee every month, we will have complete control over the port, and outsiders will not be able to know what goods are in the warehouse, which satisfies your requirement for absolute confidentiality."
Lin Sanqi was shocked when he heard this. Taking over the customs, how come the Malagasy people are the same as the late Qing government?
"Uncle Shi, it's fine if they've contracted the port to us, but they've also contracted the customs? Aren't they up to some conspiracy?"
Lin Chengye burst out laughing when he heard this:
"Customs, there have to be goods and people coming in and out of the port. Look at this port, where do all these people come from? This city of Antserranana has basically no industry, and there's really no goods to import or export.
Besides, Madagascar has 22 administrative regions, essentially 22 independent kingdoms, and no one listens to the Presidential Palace. Everyone's just trying to get their money, and when they've made enough, they're all sending it abroad."
Lin Sanqi was relieved now. It is good to have no legal system. Without the legal system, it would be a paradise for the rich.
It just so happens that Lin Sanqi is now a member of the capital, at least in Africa.
Lin Tianhua pointed to a nearby open space and said to Lin Sanqi and Lin Bei:
"We can build several large warehouses there so that the goods can be delivered directly to the warehouses after arriving at the port. We can also station sentries there. Your uncle Nineteenth said that you bought a lot of weapons in Israel before, and they can be used here."
Lin Chengye twitched his eyebrows when he heard this, and Lin Sanqi raised his middle finger, meaning that you betrayed me.
Turning around, Lin Sanqi pulled Lin Bei over:
"Brother Bei, I'll leave everything here to you. In a few days, 2,500 machine tools and dozens of production lines will arrive at the port. You will then place them all in the old warehouse over there. I will arrange for people to transport them away."
Lin Bei nodded heavily: "Boss, don't worry, such a simple task is a piece of cake for me."
In the next two weeks, Lin Sanqi and several old friends started to have a crazy time in Africa.
I visited Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the African savannah in Kenya, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Sossusvlei Sand Dunes in Namibia, and so on.
Africa is hell for the poor, but for the rich, if you hire a dozen fully armed security guards, guides, and cooks, you can live like a king.
Of course, the "Princess" doesn't want to be criticized.
Two weeks later, the goods exported by Fengtian Machine Tool were transported to the Port of Antserranana at the fastest speed.
Lin Sanqi was very happy as he watched the containers being unloaded from the ship by the gantry crane and sent to the large warehouse next to the dock, where they were piled up like a mountain.
The contract for the Port of Antsiranana also meant that the last shortcoming of his "crossing lies" was filled, and it would be extremely convenient for him to obtain supplies from the country in the future.
Once the container door is opened, rows of neatly stacked machine tools are revealed.
Xie Yujun, the sales director of Fengtian Machine Tool Company, came over in person. Seeing Lin Sanqi, he was as enthusiastic as if he were seeing a family member:
"Director Lin, I've brought you all 2,500 machine tools and 48 production lines. We even used our connections to expedite the customs clearance. You've done our company a huge favor."
Lin Sanqi said with a smile:
"This is a win-win situation. In business, if one party makes a profit, it doesn't mean it's a real profit. There will be many opportunities for cooperation between our two sides in the field of machine tools in the future."
In another era when it was not possible to produce cutter heads, milling heads and other spare parts, maintenance and support still had to rely on Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical.
Director Xie patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, from now on, your Lingnan Hall's affairs will be our Fengtian Machine Tool's affairs. We are an all-weather strategic partner."
After saying this, Director Xie turned around and looked at the somewhat deserted port and said worriedly:
"Director Lin, I did some research before coming here. Madagascar is a very poor country. It doesn't even have a basic industrial system. You brought so many machine tools here at once. Can you sell them?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled and replied mysteriously:
"This port is my transit point. My business spans all of Africa and the Middle East. Do you think over 2,000 machine tools are too many for such a large territory?"
When Xie Yushu heard this, his eyes lit up again:
"Then Director Lin, you must take good care of Fengtian Electromechanical in the future. Don't worry, the price we offer to Lingnan Hall is definitely lower than that of our peers nationwide."
This transaction was rather special. The products sold by Fengtian Machine Tool to Lingnan Hall were classified as "domestic trade" and the currency received was RMB, which saved Lin Sanqi from suffering a huge loss in currency exchange.
When Lingnan Hall exported to Africa, it received US dollars. Of course, on the books, Lingnan Hall only received a "deposit" and was certainly unable to receive subsequent funds, which became a bad debt.
Lingnan Hall’s book losses increased by a huge amount.
Well, this is the capital game played by Lin Sanqi. Of course, it is the capital transfer left over by other big guys.
Of course, this is not illegal, because Lingnan Hall actually paid 2 billion yuan, which created tax revenue and GDP for the country.
As for how they lost money in export trade, the national interest was not harmed, but Lingnantang Company itself was harmed, so this cannot be considered as "fleeing foreign exchange." (Author: Doghead Baoming)
At night, all the lights at Antsiranana Port were turned off and all staff were asked to leave, including Lin Bei, the regional manager.
By daybreak, all the containers were gone. Lin Sanqi's excuse was that they had been transported away by a third party overnight.
This matter is very strange, but no one cares about it. The mentality of workers is always to get a good salary and not to worry about other things.
Before leaving, Lin Sanqi used the Malagasy currency 1 Ariary to buy a dilapidated house at the port.
Others don’t understand what is going on. Now the entire port belongs to Lingnan Hall. Why do they have to buy a dilapidated house and insist on getting the property certificate?
In fact, this is a cheat device for Lin Sanqi. Now that he has his own house, Lin Sanqi has made a location mark, so he can come here at any time and take away the goods here.
Otherwise, the round-trip airfare is still very expensive, and you have to change planes three times. (End of this chapter)
